I am excited for this opportunity to work with you. I have spent 21 years helping individuals, couples, and families experiencing life's challenges who feel disconnected, stuck in frustrating patterns, or are navigating personal loss. I specialize in helping you become connected, establish healthy patterns, and navigate the grief process effectively. In the process, you will be able to identify and utilize your strengths, communicate more effectively, develop healthy coping skills, and break free from negative habits and behaviors. My style is encouraging and solution-focused. I truly believe that investing in yourself and your relationships can bring about transformation in less time than you might think. I look forward to the opportunity to serve you!
In our first session, I will get to know you by learning about you, identifying your strengths, and creating a specific goal for our time so that we can track your progress. What is especially important in this first session, is that I do what I believe is the most important thing a therapist can do: listen. My goal is for you to feel comfortable with me and confident that you will "get what you came for".
My therapeutic approach is fairly simple, and I describe it this way: I hold up a hand mirror with the mirror facing my client(s), and there is "fog" on the mirror. My job is to help each client get the fog off the mirror so he/she can realize what an amazing individual she/he is.
I am best positioned to serve individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, symptoms of PTSD, and relationship issues. I also am positioned to address young professionals experiencing career transition, parenting issues, and academic issues. I am also best positioned to serve adolescents navigating their developmental stage, as well as individual experiencing life and developmental stage adjustments. I have several years serving couples, with results.
